Subject: Update One on Omicron Nu

Good evening members of the Command Staff,

After reaching Omicron Nu I was right about to begin planning patrol routes when a hostile contact on radar was spotted 15K due north east of the Super Gate. As the target approached we were able to get accurate scans which will be provided below. It was a Zoner Carrier Aquilon and they identified themselves as Absalom Captained by Eric. They wanted to know what we were doing and they had seen other Navy in the system but never a Liberty Dreadnought. Eric stated he and his ship was in Omicron Nu to protect the interests of the Outworlder Assembly. From my perspective I think he was trying to intimidate me but once you stare down a horde of Gallic Royal Navy nothing really phases you anymore. Anyways we chatted for a time and Eric slowly impulsed away from the Super Gate.

Eric was also very interested in our mission and without relaying to much information I informed him that we are mainly here to protect the super gate and set up a patrol path to warn us of any unpleasant surprises. He also discussed his disgust for all houses as he put it. He believes governments like the republic are corrupt and send people to die for their own gains. Honestly Eric sounds just like those weird types of people on the neural net, claiming everyone and everything is out to get him. In my opinion this new wave of militant style Zoners (Outworlder Assembly) are nothing but an over zealous group trying to come off as strong and intimidating but should they cross the Republic or make any negative advances they will crumble. I will report back should anything else further develop, I will be setting up a patrol route for our fighters centered around the location of the Vermont and the Super Gate. While this first encounter seemed peaceful I did sense a lot of animosity and I dont doubt their return, I request an Archer Class Cruiser, and two Defiant Class gunboats as an added escort to the Vermont.

In Service To The Republic.

Scan of the Aquilon
[22.06.2022 00:23:49] 46th|LNS-Vermont: This is Jump Gate Control at Battleship Vermont. Identify yourself Absalom.
[22.06.2022 00:24:06] Absalom: ?: I could make you the same question, libertonian.
[22.06.2022 00:24:39] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: Good thing we asked first, and you are approaching our structure.
[22.06.2022 00:24:58] Absalom: ?: Your structure, in our system.
[22.06.2022 00:25:10] Absalom: ?: We are the proud crew of the Project Absalom.
[22.06.2022 00:25:37] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: Not to proud I hope, and I dont see anywhere that this sytem is claimed.
[22.06.2022 00:26:11] Absalom: ?: The Navy is too scared to scout it and see our outposts.
[22.06.2022 00:26:48] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: If you have a legitimate claim then you should bring it up with the Republic.
[22.06.2022 00:27:19] Absalom: ?: The Assembly doesn't care about the "Republic", we do not recognize any house as a legitimate nation.
[22.06.2022 00:27:31] Absalom: ?: Why did the Navy bring a battleship here?
[22.06.2022 00:28:15] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: The Navy has always had battleships here since the contruction of the Super Gate.
[22.06.2022 00:28:36] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: And it dosent matter if you recognize the Republic or not, we are here and nothing will change that.
[22.06.2022 00:28:57] Absalom: ?: I recall seeing a few cruisers, but not so much battleships, except that old wreck.
[22.06.2022 00:29:32] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: We are merely ensuring the protection of our assets in the system.
[22.06.2022 00:29:38] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: Culling the Nomads is also another goal.
[22.06.2022 00:29:43] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: Hopefully one we share.
[22.06.2022 00:30:22] Absalom: ?: Well, we've been dealing with them for several years, it is a plague.
[22.06.2022 00:30:29] Absalom: ?: The nomads, i mean.
[22.06.2022 00:30:53] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: They seem to just keep coming, I dont really know much about them.
[22.06.2022 00:31:18] Absalom: ?: I would say you're lying. But i do not really care.
[22.06.2022 00:31:34] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: I know about their pressence.
[22.06.2022 00:31:40] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: I mean on an organic level.
[22.06.2022 00:31:48] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: I am no scientist, I am just a Captain.
[22.06.2022 00:32:01] Absalom: ?: Right...
[22.06.2022 00:32:25] Absalom: ?: What do you know about that wreck?
[22.06.2022 00:32:58] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: Well its is Libertonian, but I have yet to fully inspect it. Our initial scan was to prob the area for any hostiles.
[22.06.2022 00:33:29] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: I am sure in time we can board and get the Identification number, but the ship does seem very old.
[22.06.2022 00:33:38] Absalom: ?: The area is not exactly safe, it's usually infested, but a warship shouldn't have much issue.
[22.06.2022 00:33:39] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: I havent seen a Dread that old in a very long time.
[22.06.2022 00:33:56] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: Its quite sad though.
[22.06.2022 00:34:05] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: Those men and women aboard.
[22.06.2022 00:34:13] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: I do wonder what happened to them.
[22.06.2022 00:34:23] Absalom: ?: Your government probably sent them to die out here, it's something i would expect from houses.
[22.06.2022 00:35:00] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: Well, no house is innocent and sometimes things must be done for the greater good, I wont speculate
[22.06.2022 00:35:06] 46th|LNS-Vermont: what happened to them at this time with no evidence.
[22.06.2022 00:36:12] Absalom: ?: Something tells me no evidence will be seen, ever.
[22.06.2022 00:36:49] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: I try to keep an open mind, The Republic has yet to wrong me or my crew, We have seen action in a few theaters already
[22.06.2022 00:37:28] Absalom: ?: So you simply do not care as long as you're not directly involved.
[22.06.2022 00:37:55] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: I am saying I dont go around suspecting ill intent unless I see it.
[22.06.2022 00:38:14] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: So far everything has been by the book and by the law as far as I am concerned.
[22.06.2022 00:38:14] Absalom: ?: I guess most of your fellow soldiers thought the same, until it happened, then joined that Insurgency.
[22.06.2022 00:38:57] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: Conspiracy and rumors is what made the Insurgency, But I think at this point they are mere days away
[22.06.2022 00:39:01] 46th|LNS-Vermont: from being snuffed out.
[22.06.2022 00:39:35] Absalom: ?: Hard to believe that rumors and conspiracies can create an army, to say such thing is just frivolous.
[22.06.2022 00:39:59] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: No matter what you do or say, there is always someone who is against it.
[22.06.2022 00:40:19] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: They just couldnt find a diplomatic way around it and resorted to violence.
[22.06.2022 00:40:48] Absalom: ?: Unlikely your government took them seriously for such diplomacy to happen in the first place.
[22.06.2022 00:41:06] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: I cant speak for the Republic.
[22.06.2022 00:41:11] Absalom: ?: People doesn't choose violence, they're usually pushed into it.
[22.06.2022 00:41:47] Absalom: ?: But i'm sure whoever is in charge of the Insurgency is just as selfish and corrupt as the Republic, anyways...
[22.06.2022 00:42:02] Absalom: ?: The kind of folk that treat everyone as expendable assets, or puppets.
[22.06.2022 00:42:27] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: No person or government is perfect, we all have our flaws.
[22.06.2022 00:43:00] Absalom: ?: Compromises must be done, but if no one ever looks to improve things, shit happens.
[22.06.2022 00:43:18] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: I agree with you.
[22.06.2022 00:44:11] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: A bit of a heads up, you will see us here more often, feel free to come about should any issue arise.
[22.06.2022 00:44:30] Absalom: ?: Anyhow, what exactly does your team want to scout first?
[22.06.2022 00:45:44] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: Well first things first, we are going to set up a patrol route, to ensure we are prepared should any unplesent -
[22.06.2022 00:45:53] 46th|LNS-Vermont: suprises reveal themselves.
[22.06.2022 00:46:43] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: As for scouting missions I havent authorized any yet.
[22.06.2022 00:47:21] Absalom: ?: The closer you get to the ruins, the more likely is you encounter alien patrols.
[22.06.2022 00:48:13] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: I will note that in my logs, Its my hope to preserve life. We have a job to do and I dont intend to lose people.
[22.06.2022 00:48:47] Absalom: ?: Good.
[22.06.2022 00:49:04] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: What is your name Captain?
[22.06.2022 00:49:33] Absalom: E: You can call me Eric, captain of The Absalom.
[22.06.2022 00:50:03] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: A pleasure Eric, your trajectory seems to be leading you away from our position, be safe.
[22.06.2022 00:50:17] Absalom: E: We're out in the Edge Worlds to protect the interests of the Assembly and the Zoners.
[22.06.2022 00:50:58] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: I see, well should any issue arise with our Naval pressence do inform me, perhaps we can work towards a mutual resolve
[22.06.2022 00:51:40] Absalom: E: If your house want to get on the good eye of the Assembly, cleanse the alien threat.
[22.06.2022 00:52:19] 46th|LNS-Vermont: Shepard: I am sure it is the plan to rid the aliens of this place. Otherwise it will be nothing but trouble.
